Northridge shooting victims identified as suspects await extradition
The names of the four people found shot to death outside a Northridge home early Sunday were released Thursday by authorities.
Los Angeles County coroner’s officials identified the victims as Amanda Ghossein, 24, of Monterey Park; Jennifer Kim, 26, of Montebello; Robert Calabia, 34, of Los Angeles; and Teofilo Navales, 49, of Castaic. Coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter said Los Angeles police had placed a security hold on any additional information about the deaths.
Also Thursday, four suspects in the slayings were awaiting an extradition hearing in Las Vegas, where they were arrested without incident Monday afternoon. Authorities tracked the group to the Silverton Hotel and Casino, and said they checked into the hotel Sunday evening after fleeing Los Angeles.
